New transparent CeO2:Ln (Ln=Eu3+or Sm3+) thin-film phosphors have been fabricated by a sol–gel method. The CeO2:Ln films with the Ln concentrations of 1at.% showed the strongest photoluminescence (PL) upon ultraviolet (UV) light excitation. At higher Ln concentrations, the PL intensity decreased because of the nonradiative energy transfer. For Eu3+ions doped in the CeO2lattice with inversion symmetry, an orangey red emission due to a magnetic-dipole5D0→7F1transition (591nm) was dominant when excited at a wavelength of 340nm. In contrast, much stronger orange emissions (573nm) due to4G5/2→6H5/2were observed for Sm3+ions. Apparently, the Eu3+and the Sm3+ions had different efficiencies of the excitation through the energy transfer from the “Ce4+–O2−”charge transfer state induced by the UV irradiation.
